Hello, I am running into an issue attempting to send the USER variable using OpenSSH 3.9 for both the server and client. My /etc/ssh/ssh_config contains the SendEnv USER keyword and value, and debug output confirms it is being sent: #ssh -v -v -v -2 -l johndoe host5 debug1: Sending env USER = root debug2: channel 0: request env confirm 0 I also have the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file with AcceptEnv USER. However, the USER variable doesn't have the correct value on the remote machine, it has the value of johndoe (USER = johndoe): debug1: Sending env USER = root debug2: channel 0: request env confirm 0 debug3: Ignored env LS_COLORS debug3: Ignored env KDEDIR debug3: Ignored env MAIL debug3: Ignored env PATH debug3: Ignored env INPUTRC debug3: Ignored env PWD debug3: Ignored env LANG debug3: Ignored env SSH_ASKPASS debug3: Ignored env SHLVL debug3: Ignored env HOME debug3: Ignored env LOGNAME debug3: Ignored env SSH_CONNECTION debug3: Ignored env LESSOPEN debug3: Ignored env NIS_PATH debug3: Ignored env G_BROKEN_FILENAMES debug3: Ignored env _ debug3: Ignored env OLDPWD debug2: channel 0: request shell confirm 0 debug2: fd 3 setting TCP_NODELAY debug2: callback done debug2: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768 debug2: channel 0: rcvd adjust 131072 SunOS host5 5.6 Generic_105181-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60 Environment: USER=johndoe Is the USER variable read only? What am I missing here?
